New York Governor Enriches Union-Boss Cronies
In 2014, with Right to Work attorneys’ help, Pam Harris and other home caregivers terminated schemes mandating union dues payment as a condition of receiving Medicaid reimbursements.
Leo Gerard, the boss of the United Steelworkers Union, warned Democrats not to compromise at all on the fiscal cliff. Gerard said any Democrats who does get weak knees isn’t a “real Democrat.” and suggested they will suffer the same fate as former Democratic Senator Blanche Lincoln. Lincoln lost the general election in 2010 after she wasted a lot of her resources fighting off a more liberal challenger in the primary earlier that year. And any Democrat that gets weak knees on that isn’t a real Democrat. And they ought to remember what happened to Blanche Lincoln,” Gerard said.
So much for bipartisan compromise.
In 2014, with Right to Work attorneys’ help, Pam Harris and other home caregivers terminated schemes mandating union dues payment as a condition of receiving Medicaid reimbursements.
Candidate Trump wisely refused to give in to Mr. O’Brien’s anti-Right to Work cajoling, and by the Teamster hierarchy’s own account this is the reason he never received the union’s endorsement, despite internal polling that showed Teamster members lopsidedly preferred him in the general election.
Key appointees of Donald Trump have sent clear signals this year that the President continues to understand that standing up for Americans’ Right to Work is good policy and smart politics.
